Distinctive Features

This flat-bottomed type was named after the town in Emilia-Romagna in north-eastern Italy where kilns producing it were found. Aldini (1978; 1981) divided it into four sub-types, A-D, which are broadly similar but exhibit minor differences. All sub-types have a flat base with a diameter roughly equivalent to that of the neck. The base flares slightly outwards in types B and C. The body is ovoid, tapering downwards, though the body of sub-type C is more rounded than the other three types. The neck is conical (though verging on cylindrical in sub-types A and D) with a simple rounded rim (slightly everted in type B). The handles rise vertically from the rounded shoulder, peaking a little over the join with the neck in sub-types A and B: sub-types C and D are more right-angled. The handles in section are generally ridged, long and rest on top of the swelling shoulder.

Date Range

Aldini (1978; 1981) proposed from contextual evidence that this type was produced from the first and throughout the second century AD (Aldini, 1989; 1995; 1996; Panella, 2002) . Sciallano & Sibella (1991) suggest that it was produced from a little earlier (first century BC) until the third century.

Origin

The type was produced in Forlimpopoli in north-eastern Italy (Aldini, 1978; 1981; 1999; 2000), though it is clear that other kiln sites situated in and around Rimini produced similar flat-bottomed types (Maioli & Stoppioni, 1989).
